System requirements

Hardware requirements threshold is low, thanks to the simplicity of SavaCrush. Tested on Windows, but should work on other operational systems as well, just make sure to recreate the executable from source.

How to play this game

The SavaCrush game is similar to popular Candy Crush. It was called SavaCrush in honor of its developer (scroll down for further information). The game is pretty easy and play: just swap the objects. When gems get stacked together in a row or a column of 3 or more, they disintegrate, forming a special explosive according to their amount, with 4 in a row forming a firework, 4 in a column - a bomb and 5 in a row or column - a lightning (although this setup is temporary and can be changed at any given time). Fireworks destroy everything on the row or column that they're currently on right after swapping them with anything. Swapping them horizontally will result in destoying the row, whereas vertical swaps destroy the column. Bombs remove 3 by 3 grid after being triggered. Lightnings are the simplest: they break objects of the type they were merged with.
